Saw the truck on Saturday. The orange is a great shade. I was stunned that my wife got interested in it — clearly it was the color because she is definitely NOT a truck person!

Yes. They have pushed it back a week. Just found out about that myself.

You're welcome, Mark. I plan to be there both days. We have a slight chance of rain. Hope it holds off.

Hi, Mark. Yes, the Slate EV will be outside so no admission fee to the museum is required. Limited metered parking is available on the street but tends to fill up fast, especially on a weekend. GLSC has a paid parking garage and that may be your best bet.

Hi, all. Happy to highlight the Slate EV coming to my hometown on Saturday and Sunday July 19-20. The Slate contingent will be at the Great Lakes Science Center 10 AM to 5 PM. Help spread the word! I hope to send time with lots of Slate fans at this great venue. GLSC is in the heart of downtown...

Thanks for this Honda info. I think a Slate purchase decision will invariably be made by informed consumers who will weigh all the factors one of which is surely price of ownership.

Big thanks! I'm in Cleveland so I'm thrilled to hear Slate is making an appearance there.

The "late June" answer given it is now June 17 is strangely non-specific. Many of us within driving distance would like to attend this event, but we need a decent lead time to plan. How about it Slate?

I well remember that. Let's not forget the "Saturn Homecoming" events at the factory — a gear head version of Woodstock!

Yes, I agree. Good ideas.

Hmm. Here it is June 13 and still no specific location for the announced June 21st Detroit event. Weird.

Still waiting for the official word of where June 23 in Detroit will be held

Ha ha. So I was at the wrong end of the tent!

Thanks, Ben. Followed your directions, but there is no slot for ADDRESS. I only see LOCATION. Is that where my address is supposed to go?

I've been through all the menu options having to do with my profile and haven't found where to add my shipping address. Where do I find that particular option?

It will be interesting to see how basic folks will be willing to go. Believe it or not, I'd like to opt out of having air conditioning (remember the days when A/C was an extra cost option?). But I understand there might only be 3 or 4 of us willing to go full-on Zen/Amish like that!

Very useful and insightful post! I strongly support your idea about the posting of a winter vs. summer range or efficiency number. Come to think of it, that notion applies equally well to ICE vehicles. In regards to the original post in this thread, I can contribute my 2018 BMW i3 efficiency...

Your point is well taken!

Yes, excellent idea.

You're right. Traditional rigid panels used for residential rooftop solar systems (typically with aluminum frames) can add weight. Perhaps 25-50 lbs. or more depending on size (e.g. 100w, 200w, 400w panel). There are many aftermarket portable solar panels that are considerably lighter and...
